Is there anyone who may be looking for Stanley families?
I am searching for a John Bacon Stanley's children. John was born in 1776 to Edward Stanley & Lydia BACON. John Bacon Stanley's wife was Barbara LYNCH.
Or could anyone tell me who I would write or email to get these particulars.
Have a good day everyone! :)

Hi,
Do you have an address or church name? What religion? You will probably have to go to parish records.

Hi Kate :)
John Bacon Stanley was married at St. Thomas, Church of Ireland to Barbara Lynch in 1800. He died at St. James Parish. John Bacon was born 1776, died 1832.
I am desperately looking for his children. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
The St Thomas church records exist from 1750-1978 in the representative church body library but they were badly damaged in the 1922 fire. Some are in the database that is available in the Dublin City Archives.
St James exist from 1730-1963 and are also in the representative church body library

Hi there, I am looking for Stanley family members. I have a Patrick Stanley born 1936 Avondale House, dies 1984 St Laurence's Hospital.
I know your researching earlier times but my Stanley may belong to your Stanley.
-
My Stanley family left Ireland in 1870 for Australia so don't know if any other members were related to yours. In fact they were baptised SHAW but adopted the surname STANLEY.

Yes guess there isnt a link :'( But it is always worth following up.
Good Luck with your searches.
-
Hello Murrell. What a surprise to see someone looking for Stanleys as well. :) Sorry for the delay in replying.
I do not know if your Stanleys are related as I haven't got that far. Just observing a Patrick, name not familiar. How far back have you gone? Does John Bacon Stanley, Edward Bacon Stanley, Sir Edward Stanley, Henry V. Stanley, George Adamson Stanley or any Roberts of Westmeath sound at all familiar to you.
Spouses - Wilson, Norris, Bacon, Vincent, Douglas or Adamson sound familiar?
Thank you for a response.

Hello Marilyn
Not sure if we have exchanged info before but my Stanleys are descended from John Bacon Stanley. Stephanie
-
Hello Stephanie. Yes I do remember our conversation. I did email you but it was deleted & advised to send a "personal message". ???
I would be very interested in the John Bacon Stanley family & who went to Australia & also who was the Shaw who adopted the name Stanley. One of John Bacon Stanley's sons was Henry V Stanley. John Bacon's brother (as you probably know) was Sir Edward who was my gggg grandfather.
I would really appreciate learning more about this family.
p.s. I had looked & looked to send you a "personal message" but could not find it. Where is this P.M. ??? Anxiously looking forward to your reply.

;) Hi Marilyn (Maystan) The Stanley of Dublin I'm looking for married a relative of mine in Dublin in 1960's. I have no other details for him only that he was born 1936 Avondale House Dublin, and that his parents were Thomas Stanley & Annie Higgins. Thanks for your interest.
-
Hello Murrel. I'm sorry, your Patrick, I am not familiar with. However, I am sure I have seen the name Higgins in my searches but where I'm not sure. I will have a look in my records but the name would have come up much earlier.
I will keep a look out for the name & if I find it I will get back to you. I'm not even sure if the Higgins was connected to the Stanleys. If you find anything else that may be of help, don't hesitate to contact me.

Morning Maystan many thanks for your reply. As I have no other details it makes it difficult to move on with this part of my searches. If I come across any info I think may be of use to you I shall contact you. :)

I am searching for the baptism of George Adamson Stanley, b: 1796/7 in Dublin, but as I have no parish, it will be a difficult search.
My question is, in the 18th century, would the mother's name be given? George's father was Robert & as there were so many Roberts, without mother's name to clarify, the baptism record would be useless, except perhaps the witnesses.
Any suggestions?

Answer to the first part of the question - it depends on what exactly is meant by 'Dublin' in this case. It can refer to the city, suburbs or county - so quite a number of different parishes. Not all parishes have records back as far as the 1790s, and not all those that do exist are online.
Many records for the city area are available (free) on the IrishGenealogy website, and transcripts of a number of Co. Dublin Parishes are on the pay-website at RootsIreland.
Based on the previous post it seems this Stanley family were Church of Ireland - so a mother's maiden surname would generally not be noted in the record. Sponsors/godparents/Witnesses are not usually included in CofI records.
What details do you have on this George - date & place of marriage, places of residence, occupation, death, births of children etc ?

Thank you Shane for your response. Yes they were C of I. I was hoping to find the mother's name on George's baptism but you answered my question that mother's name is not given but still cannot find his baptism cert.
George was an Army Officer. Checked army records. Location & date of birth was in war records but no copy of baptism. No one was commissioned unless they could prove they had been baptised C of E. Baptism cert. not found.
George was born 17 Nov. 1796 in Dublin to a Robert Stanley. Married April 10, 1845 to Anne Fuller, nee Douglas in Bootertown. George's address was given as "Charlomas", Co. Dublin. (No such place as Charlomas). Performed at Royal Hospital, Kilmainham. He resided at Errin Terrace, 27 Leinster Rd. Rathmines in 1845.
He had one child, William Hamilton Stanley, b: 27-02-1847 at Errin Terrace, Rathmines at St. Peter's Parish. George died 11 Nov. 1872 at Bloomfield Ave.
I am desperately trying to find George's mother's name to connect George to the right Robert, his father. Believe it may have been Anne Adamson but no proof. Records have it that Robert & Anne had 3 children born at Athlone but no George is mentioned. Family believed to have moved to Dublin where it is indicated George was born. George had a brother Thomas from war records.
A fair amount of info has been found but the question is, who was his mother. Any help would be appreciated or where I could go next to find this info. Thank you.

Unfortunately to search for early baptism records like this you usually require a little more detail - primarily a more detailed place of birth - i.e. town, townland or parish.
p.s. depends of the dates a little, but CofI baptisms usually include mother's first name, but not maiden name (surname).
As I understand it most of the available CofI records for the city are already on the IrishGenealogy website - so if George was baptised in the city maybe the record of this was included in lost or damaged registers - e.g. St. Thomas.
Transcripts for a number of the County Dublin CofI parishes are already included on the pay-website at RootsIreland, but maybe they will add further parishes over time.

Thank you Shane for the info. I have checked both sites to no avail but I will keep searching. That is the problem, no town or parish so like looking for a needle in a hay stack! Hopefully one day I will find the answer.
Thank you again. :)
